My kids love these pouches. We have some others but because of the cute animal designs they loved these more! With a Walrus, a Panda, a Bird and a lion. You can't go wrong between both girls and boys. I like the twist tops. With the top on it is spill proof. So you can carry in your bag without making a huge mess. You can make sure that your kids are eating healthy even on the go. We used to find that picnics consisted of chips, sandwiches and snack cakes because that is what was easy to take. Nothing healthy. Now with these pouches we can take applesauce, pudding and other fruity foods with us. If you make homemade foods for you baby or toddler, these are great for those also..There are so many things that you can use these pouches for. The super strong closure makes it great for the little ones. My 5 year old is soo hard on his stuff and yet he has not been able to break these. The big ones are 4.5 fl oz (130mL) great for the older kids and the smaller ones are 2.5 fl oz (70mL) great for 6m to a year old crowd. These are great for field trips, camping, picnics and even just outings to the grocery store. At $35.88 for an 8 pack that is only $4.48 each.
Squooshi reusable food pouches are BPA-free, PVC-free, Lead-free, Phthalate-free, puncture resistant plastic, to provide convenience and durability without unnecessary chemicals. The manufacturer we work with is ISO 9001 certified and BRC rated, meaning the company meets international standards for quality and safety protocols as pertains to ingredients, allergens, hygiene, humane trade practices, and foreign ingredient exposures.
HOW DO I FILL MY SQUOOSHI?Squooshi pouches can be filled through an extra sturdy zipper located on the bottom of the pouch. Simply turn the pouch over, pull apart the zipper, make sure your cap is on and pour or spoon in your favorite squishy food. For optimal use, Squooshi pouches should be filled about ¾ full depending on the content. TO PREVENT LEAKAGE, DO NOT OVERFILL.
Avoid the microwave, hot liquids, and anything with a consistency thinner than applesauce.
REGARDING CONSISTENCY, for little ones that may be even more inclined to squeeze and tip their Squooshis, we suggest making your purees a bit thicker so they're less likely to spill out as little hands eat and play. Wipe away any seeds or food bits from the zipper, and make sure the bottom is sealed completely after filling
WHAT CAN I PUT IN A SQUOOSHI?Squooshi refillable pouches are perfect for any squishy food. We fill them with applesauce, smoothies, fruit, grain and veggie purees, homemade baby food, yogurts, oatmeal – anything of a squishy consistency
Our StorySquooshi, was started by a father-daughter team, Shannon Wren Waldis and Noel Wren, who were inspired to create a well-designed reusable food pouch that would be helpful to parents, fun for kids of all ages, and better for our environment!
“When my son was eating baby food, he loved eating out of pouches,” explains Shannon, “And I loved the playfulness and on-the-go convenience, but I felt awful giving him packaged food when I was preparing fresh nutrient dense, homemade food at home daily. I also felt terrible about the waste and the expense of store bought pouches.”
As a noted designer and longtime foodie, Shannon began to brainstorm, and soon, she and her dad Noel, who has a background in manufacturing, were on a mission to create the best reusable food pouch on the market.
After two and a half years of research, development, testing (and more testing!) Squooshi launched in October of 2012. This three-generation company is a labor of love, and “We are very proud to see families enjoying the results,” shares Shannon. “Squooshi pouches provide a solution for today’s busy families and we are inspired everyday by our grateful customers.”
